Hey guys. We are finally working on our poor old mast. (1977 Orion S&S 35)
Almost have all the paint stripped off. It's pretty under there. I have noticed a small bit of pitting at the base and the beginnings of some around the spreader plates. How do I fix it and prevent more? I am pulling all the fasteners and rebedding with tefgel. Should I sand the pitted parts away? It is slight.
